Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Care Act

On June 28, its final day in session, the United States Supreme Court handed down the decision the country had been waiting months (if not years) for: President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) was deemed constitutional. Thanks to the ACA (also commonly referred to as “Obamacare”), women across the United States will have access to a range of preventive health services (including mammograms, annual well-woman visits, breastfeeding counseling, and contraceptives, among others) with no required co-pay. The fights over universal healthcare and contraceptive coverage, however, are far from over. While supporters of the ACA were breathing a sigh of relief, opponents began making plans for its repeal in Congress.
